Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] sched/debug: use int type and fix wrong print for rq->nr_uninterruptible

commit e6fe3f422be1 ("sched: Make multiple runqueue task counters
32-bit") changed rq->nr_uninterruptible from 'unsigned long'
to 'unsigned int', but left the wrong print to
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/debug and to the console.

For example:
Current type is 'unsigned int' and value is fffffff7, and the print
will run the sentences,
"do {                                    \
    if (sizeof(rq->x) == 4)                     \
        SEQ_printf(m, "  .%-30s: %ld\n", #x, (long)(rq->x));    \
    else                                \
        SEQ_printf(m, "  .%-30s: %Ld\n", #x, (long long)(rq->x));\
} while (0)"

The result will be 4294967287 on 64-bit machines to print (long)(rq->x)
while old type 'unsigned long' will print -9.

And the other places that use its value will cast to int to return
expected output, so we convert its type from 'unsigned int' to int.
